Other days, when you can lay back a little, I find myself looking at a dozen things that I ought to be doing but can't be bothered. Or I will start something, only to pack it up and sit back down for an hour. Then I will feel guilty and get up and do something, run out of energy or enthusiasm or the guilt has worn off and pack that up. Sometimes it can go like that for hours, days or even weeks, where you just can't seem to get going.

So, I am curious, how do you motivate yourself to get going and do beyond the basics like eat and sleep? Do you reward yourself? Is guilt your motivator?

Got to be honest. I'm looking for motivation myself and wondering what I can use....
That's a really good question. I find it very difficult to be motivated when depressed like everyone else out there.

I had this brief 6 months of total wellness and now it's a drug for me. I just have to have it. That time period was sooo great. I had never felt better or in more control than I ever have, which is why I'm doing anything and everything to get back there.
